I heard you should not have less than 1200 calories per day in order to lose weight because then your metabolism will drop. So how are people on this losing weight?
By the way I thought about doing Nutrisystem but then got a free days sample of food and completely changed my mind. The food is TERRIBLE!!!

I eat healthy, exercise but it seems that no matter what I try I don’t seem to be losing weight. People keep telling me to eat a low fat diet but the doctor told me that eating low fat is what killed my gall bladder. He said that everything in moderation. However it seems that if I eat too much protein I get sick, if I eat low fat I get sick. I am so confused until I am on the verge of just giving up. I try to balance it out but I don’t seem to lose a pound. Can someone help? I need realistic help. I have a very understanding family but I don’t want to make them suffer with special diet. I can prepare two meals for dinner if need be but it would be easier to just prepare one. Any suggestions? I am also looking for something long term. More like a life change as apposed to a diet.

I have hypothyroidism, and as a result have trouble upon trouble losing weight. I’m beginning to think it’s a no win situation and it’s very frustrating. Is there a meal plan that can help?

I said MEAL PLAN not pill, fake diet fad, or advertisement, thank you!

now i exercise enough. active and play sports everyday. go to the gym. but the one thing missing is a diet. what should i eat in a day. like what type of foods to eat or not to eat?
i usually eat breakfast. some cereal or something. and lunch chicken or something like that. dont really eat vegetable or fruits. my trainer said that what i eat isnt at all a good diet, and i aint losing weight with just excersize alone.

With the holidays approaching I thought it might be fun and beneficial to start up a Biggest Loser Club where people are rewarded prizes for losing weight during the holidays. I’ve never done this before does anyone have suggestions on how to keep it fair. We have 300+ women wanting to join as well as women who weigh under 200. It’d be unfair to do it by pounds because larger women tend to lose weight faster. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a few questions for you. How would you describe yourself while looking in the mirror?  How do you feel about yourself?  How would you describe yourself to other people?  Have you made your weight you?  Have you forgotten your dreams and aspirations because you feel like you are too overweight to accomplish them?   When you look in the mirror do you see a person you would want to be best friends with?  Do you love the person you see?  Can you see past your double chin and the wrinkles around your eyes?  What color are your eyes and can you look yourself in the eyes? 

I am asking these questions because if it is difficult to love the person looking back in the mirror when we are overweight. How do we know we will love ourselves when we are thinner?   We need to love ourselves for who we are, from the inside first, and only then should we can work on controlling our weight.  Many people tend to try and fix the outside by trying every new fad diet or diet pill that comes on the market.  The truth of the matter is the problem isn’t on the outside of us, it is inside.  Dr. Sklare, an eDiets psychologist tells us that we cannot change our weight until we change our minds. 

I know that you want to eat healthy and be healthy, but there is a driving force on the inside of you that steers you in the opposite direction.  My husband Keith and I were talking one day and we both agreed that it is almost like there are two different people fighting inside of us.  One part of you wants to be exercising, eating healthy, and taking good care of your body and then there is another part of you that procrastinates, makes excuses, interferes and sabotages your best interests.  This internal argument goes on all the time within you and it is at the very heart that keeps you from weight control.  If you listen you can even hear the argument. 

So how do we fix this?  How can we make ourselves as one and become united in losing weight, begin an exercise routine and become healthy on the inside first before running to the next fad diet or the new diet pill.

Everyday is a day to make choices when it comes to losing weight and fitness. For most people getting out to do the cardiovascular exercise on a daily basis can be most of the battle. You may have a great weight loss morning and afternoon, in your food choices, and then blow the whole day that same night. All too often people get motivated to “get healthy” and start a program and get positive results for awhile but then wander into failure. If you are, or have been in this situation then you by no means alone.

All too often individuals get discouraged or distressed and then wander into a repetitive situation that breeds failure and then more discouragement. What is meant by this is that all too often a person is dieting to  lose weight and then one day has a candy bar. Up until that point there was an imaginary barrier and that candy bar was on the other side. After the candy bar is eaten there is a feeling of failure and dejection. If not “checked” this emotion will result in more candy bars and less exercise and then total abandonment of the weight loss / fitness goals. This is, more often than not, the continuation of a perceived cycle of dieting failures because this was just one of many attempts to lose weight that resulted in failure.

A simple cure for this is to skip the “diet” and change the lifestyle. What is meant by this is that if you just try to exercise for the fitness aspect, losing weight becomes part of the equation without the ups and downs of perceived diet failures. If you can start an exercise routine you will be able to “blow” your “diet” on a Friday night every now and then. This is because if you try to get your body healthy through exercise you will not only change your body but you will also change your thinking. If you get into a routine and stick with it for awhile you will actually enjoy performing the exercise.  After it becomes a habit (14 days) your mindset starts to change and eating right is less of an issue.  It is less of an issue because the focus of your attention isn’t to just lose weight, it is to become healthier.  This will begin to manifest itself in eating less bread sticks or not loading up the baked potato.  The choices you make to eat will not be limited to diet foods but will expand to any foods.  You will just learn, and desire, to to be smarter about your food choices because you want to be able to exercise better because you want to be healthy.  When you start to eat right you will be able to stray every once in awhile because ultimately you will be back at the gym on Monday.

By starting an exercise regiment before starting a “diet” you will allow your mind to adjust to the fact that you are doing good things to your body. After awhile the food choices will become easier to decide in the direction of being healthier.  By trying to be healthy you will not have to diet because you will make better choices in not only diet, but also in quality and quantity.
